Crater Crawl

Event Overview

Participants will run or hike a challenging 6.2-mile course or a 2.9-mile out-and-back course around two adjacent, symmetrical volcanic pit craters, about 8 miles northwest of Mountain Home, Idaho.

Course Details

• 6.2-mile Route: Takes runners around two symmetrical volcanic pit Crater Rings, a unique site featuring a few examples of volcanic pit craters in the continental United States and recognized as a National Natural Landmark.
• 2.9-mile Course: Leads to a spectacular view of the east crater, suitable for those wanting a shorter, easier experience.
• Experience Options: The shorter route is an excellent option for those who want to experience the craters but don't want to travel around them on a rough and challenging course.

Event Goals

• Promote Values: Encourage the values of low-impact, non-motorized outdoor recreation.
• Fundraising: Raise funds for Idaho Outdoor Association projects, activities, and educational programs.
